Tampa International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival  (TIGLFF)

Sunday, August 18…2 screenings @ 3pm and 6pm Green Light Cinema

Kayden chose Moonlight with intention to highlight and center achievements by the black queer community. Moonlight was released as the first LGBTQ-themed mass-marketed feature film with an all-black cast and was, at the time of its release, the second-lowest-grossing film domestically (behind The Hurt Locker) to win the Oscar for Best Picture in 2017.

Freaks (1932)

First came Dracula then Frankenstein by Tod Browing. Then Tod made Freaks. Soon it was banned in USA and Europe. The cast came from an actual side show and were too real. It stayed banded until the 1960’s and today it is still banned in parts of America.  You may view it today on Amazon Prime and YouTube. Watch it if you dare……

Proposed renovation of the existing historic building at 1901 E 7th Ave

From Jose Miguel Cayón Guardiola

Today at the BLC a proposed renovation of the existing historic building at 1901 E 7th ave plus the construction of a new attached building was presented to the Commission.The owners plan of a total demolition of the inside of the building leaving the north and  west facades standing and the East side wall that separates the building from the adjacent one. After demolition they plan on rebuilding the interior and add a Roof Top where a restaurant would operate in the future. The new addition facing 19th st would be about 8.000 sq ft. Very interesting project in my opinion. Hopefully they bring back a concept like the Ovo Cafe that used to occupy the ground floor of the building a while ago and it’s still remembered by residents. I was told it was an awesome restaurant and martini bar that served the best eggs Benedict and cranberry martinis.
